\u00a0Three LCN Selections barberries are top picks!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n

\"Top<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0
Recently\u00a0Crimson Ruby<\/strong>\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Bonanza Gold\u00ae\u00a0<\/a>were included in the\u00a0University of Connecticut\u2019s \u2018Barberry OK for Sale\/Production\u2019<\/a>\u00a0list. Due to their low seed count, they are considered less invasive and a preferred choice of this popular landscape plant. You can use this new designation as a tool to promote sales of these varieties! If you’d like to be licensed for either or both less invasive cultivars, let us know and we’ll get you signed up!\u00a0
\u00a0
Additionally,\u00a0Golden Ruby\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0barberry was named a\u00a02012 Great Plant Pick<\/a>! It joins over 800 exceptional plants for gardens in the maritime Pacific Northwest as recommended by the\u00a0Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’d like to take this opportunity to announce that Golden Ruby is no longer under exclusivity and therefore can be produced by any existing LCN Selections licensee in liner and\/or finished sizes. If interested in adding Golden Ruby to your production schedule, please let us know!
\u00a0
GROWER TIP:\u00a0<\/strong>As we head in to the hot summer months, keep in mind that the root system of these dwarf barberries is small and tight just like its habit.<\/p>\n

On hot and especially windy days, treat them like a golfer’s putting green; give them a second, smaller dose of water in mid to late afternoon to keep them fresh and lustrous looking.<\/p>\n

New Uses for Old Favorites<\/em><\/h2>\n

Some LCN Selections favorites have been receiving press for their unusual uses in the home landscape.<\/p>\n

\u00a0
The article,\u00a0\u2018A Different Kind of Snow\u2019<\/a>\u00a0appeared in the Nov\/Dec issue of the northern State-by-State consumer gardening magazines and detailed the over dozen forms\u00a0Snow Fountains\u00ae can be grown and utilized in the landscape.
